njr911 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I know the 64 comes in a very sexy LPB with matching h/s but what could you get the 62 in. My next bass is going to be a stack knob in custom colour with matching head but can it be a AVRI ? Quote
CamdenRob Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I'm having a stack knob fretless jazz built with a matching headstock by peterbuilt basses in Holland.... and it's considerably cheaper than a new AVRI... also you can have any colour you want You will have to wait for four months though... Quote
njr911 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Going to go for s/h as they don't make the 62 AVRI anymore. I was thinking of maybe Limelight or Nash instead but I've not heard of peterbuilt. Quote
bakerster135 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 The basic colours for the 62 AVRI were black, sunburst and olympic white I believe. I've got a special edition one in dakota red though, and I believe they also did special editions in candy apple red, ice blue metallic and lake placid blue at various points...You'll probably find one of those second hand if you keep your eye out, though they may be a bit more expensive now they're discontinued.

CamdenRob Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I discovered peterbuilt when looking to have a fretless built a couple of weeks back. Dunno about nash but I contacted Mark at Limelight and they can't do standard finishes only reliced ones... With the good exchange rate you get a jazz to your specs and your colour choices with a hardcase for just over a grand. Edited July 22, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote

CamdenRob Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah just the facebook page... peter is a nice chap though and happy to disscuss all options via email. Quote
CamdenRob Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Not a jazz but talking of Peterbuilt I'm rather fond of this... Quote

[/quote] There are some lovely finishes on the facebook page, he could do with a proper website though.... he's not making anything from scratch rather compiling quality parts and then finishing them to your spec. (think he makes the pickguards and some of the periphery bits and bobs, also I think he does his own electronics).... Works for me though, I'd never be able to put a bass together and finish it to that standard myself. There are some nice little touches too, I like the matching tug bar.

njr911 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 No worries Looks like 62 AVRI's don't have matching h/s anyway. So I'm down to 64 AVRI or Nash/Limelight Quote

CamdenRob Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I've gone for a lined fretless stack knob jazz with a matching headstock and tug bar in this colour... which is apparentely called Opel Zinkgelb ...with a cream guard and pickups... Can't wait, it's due before Christmas. Edited July 22, 2014 by CamdenRob Quote
